What the programme covers
The day is built around three blocks: German market experience, Lithuanian policy and project reality, and the supply chain that sits between them. The key sessions:
Opening remarks from the German Embassy in Lithuania, the Lithuanian Ministry of Energy, the Center for Hydrogen Energy Technologies at the Lithuanian Energy Institute, and AHK Deputy CEO Dominic Otto.
Tobias Stein of Projektträger Jülich | Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH on the hydrogen market ramp-up in Germany, its current status and where it goes next.
Indrė Gečaitė of the Lithuanian Energy Agency on Lithuania’s vision for green hydrogen, framed around regional collaboration and energy independence.
Vytautas Ruolia, CEO of Renwise JSC, on the Lithuanian hydrogen landscape from a project developer’s seat.
Laura Gužienė of Amber Grid on advancing the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor. For anyone in Latvia sizing production against a future offtake market, this is the session that matters most.
A closing panel on German innovations and local opportunities with Marcel Corneille (EMCEL), Tobias Stein, Vytautas Ruolia and Agnė Bagočiūtė, Director of the Lithuanian Energy Agency, followed by open Q&A.
The five German companies
Company presentations run through the morning and afternoon, and the same five firms stay for B2B talks from 15:10 to 17:00:
EMCEL GmbH on hydrogen quality measurement, infrastructure and fleet transition (Marcel Corneille, CEO).
H2Perform GmbH on turning hydrogen potential into real projects (Julius Basler-Meier, CEO).
Hypion GmbH on economically viable projects and market activation (Dr Stefan Rehm, CEO).
SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH on supply, now and for the future (Robert Klausmeyer, Senior Business Development Manager).
